INTRODUCTION
Blast Chiller Models AP24BC250-3 and AP40BC350-3 are used to rapidly chill cooked foods to
temperatures suitable for refrigerated storage. They are capable of lowering the core temperature
of most foods from 160o F to 40o F in 90 minutes. Chiller/Freezer Models AP24BCF300-3 and
AP40BCF450-3 have the same chilling capabilities as the Blast Chiller Models and when the shock
freezing option is selected, are capable of lowering the core temperature of most foods from 160o F
to 0o F in 4 hours. Food is loaded into 12" x 20" x 2-1/2" pans. AP24 and AP40 models are sized to
accept one rack containing up to 40 pans (24 for AP24). All models can have as options: UV
sterilization, an integral temperature recording device (printer) and 2 or 4 food probes instead of
one. All models employ a high velocity flow of cooled air to assure even cooling of the food
product, and to quickly bring the food temperature through the danger zone in which bacteria
multiply rapidly. This is done in accordance with the requirements of HACCP, FDA and all
applicable state regulations.
CONTROLLER FEATURES
The electronic control system is solid state and is based on the latest microprocessor technology.
The display is VFD Industrial Type. It displays (4) lines of 20 characters each and allows operator
viewing from any angle. The display is programmed to show clear step-by-step instructions and
operating data. It is capable of storing 250 sets of data and 150 recipes. The unit has built-in
safety and self-diagnostic systems. The controller notifies the operator if various faults, as listed
below, should occur:
¾ Power supply failure / Restoration of power
¾ Faulty air temperature probe
¾ Faulty food temperature probe
¾ High air temperature (above 140o F)
¾ Low air temperature (below -35o F)
¾ High food temperature (above 180o F)
¾ Low food temperature (below 35o F)
As an option, the unit can be operated by a PC. The PC interface allows the operator to remotely
program the unit, operate it, download the data and print the data.
OPERATING MODES
The operator can choose from the following modes:
AUTOMATIC MODE
This is the preferred mode, in which all the food probes are active and take part in controlling the
chilling or freezing process. The cycle will never proceed to its next step until all the probes have
reached their set breaking temperatures. The operator needs only to select the recipe number of
the food to be controlled by each probe (up to 150 recipes can be programmed), then insert each
probe into its food. It is recommended that the operator remove the food when its temperature
starts to flash and the display shows “Ready”. The unit will automatically switch into holding mode
(cavity air temperature between 35o F and 42o F) when all the food have reached the end cycle
programmed temperature.

AP24BC250-3, AP24BCF300-3, AP40BC350-3, AP40BCF450-3 Manual
MANUAL MODE
Operating time is set manually, by the operator, for the meal that has been chosen. Air
temperature is controlled by the air probe. If the food probes have been inserted into the food they
will provide temperature readouts only. The unit will automatically switch into the holding mode at
the end of the cycle.

same space should be provided on the
back of the cabinet for units with pass-thru
doors.
STARTING & TESTING THE UNIT
1. To charge the unit, use the "HARD" cycle and the "MANUAL" mode. Set for two hours of
operation to allow enough time to fully charge the unit.
IMPORTANT: Immediately after starting the unit, check that the fans inside the
cabinet are rotating CLOCKWISE, and that the fans in the condensing unit are
rotating in accordance with the arrows on the blades. Improper rotation will damage
the unit and void the warranty.
2. Start the unit per 1. above and in accordance with the following operating instructions, then
perform at least one complete blast chilling or shock freezing cycle. When done, instruct the client
on the correct use of the unit.
3. By the end of the cycle the unit should have pulled down to 0o F (AP24BCF300-3,
AP40BCF450-3) or 10 o F (AP24BC250-3, AP40BC350-3). It should have been cycling between 0o
F and 10o F (AP24BCF300-3, AP40BCF450-3) or between 10o F and 20o F (AP24BC250-3,
AP40BC350-3) and the sight glass must be clear.
4. As soon as possible after the unit has been started, check the power consumption, the standard
pressure measurements and the operation of all the controls.
NOTE: The refrigerating system works on pressure. An electro valve mounted on the top of the
cabinet is controlled by the electronic controller. When the temperature of the air in the cabinet falls
to the programmed low temp setting, the electro valve will close (0 VAC) and the unit will pump
down. When the temperature of the air in the cabinet rises to the programmed high temp setting,
the electro valve will open and refrigeration will start.

USING THE HURRICHILL™ TECHNOLOGY
BLAST CHILLING
All cooked food rapidly loses its quality and aroma if it is not served promptly. Natural bacteria
growth, the main reason why food becomes stale, takes place at an exponential rate between
140°F and 40°F. However lower temperatures have a hibernating effect that increases as the
temperature drops, thereby gradually reducing bacterial activity until it stops altogether.
Only fast reduction of the temperature at the product's core allows its initial characteristics to be
maintained intact. The HurriChill™ blast chiller gets food through this high-risk temperature band
rapidly, cooling the core of the product to 40°F within 90 minutes. This conserves food quality,
color and aroma while increasing its storage life. After blast chilling, the food can be preserved at
38˚F for up to 5 days.
SHOCK FREEZING
For storage over the medium-long term, food has to be shock frozen (to 0°F or below). Freezing
means converting the water contained in food into crystals. Thanks to the high speed at which low
temperature penetrates the food, the HurriChill™ shock freezer assures the formation of small
crystals (micro-crystals) that do not damage the product in any way. Uncooked raw products,
semi-processed foods and cooked foods can be treated safely. When the food is thawed, no
liquids, consistency, weight or aroma will be lost, and all its initial qualities will remain unchanged.
SOFT CHILL CYCLE
(160°F to 40°F)
This cycle is recommended for "delicate", light, thin products or small piece sizes, such as
vegetables, creams, sweets, fish products and fried foods. Soft chilling lowers the food
temperature quickly, but extremely delicately so as not to damage the outside of the food.
This is the ideal cycle to chill any food quickly but delicately, even in haute cuisine.
HARD CHILL CYCLE
(160°F TO 40°F)
Hard chilling is suited for "dense" products and products with a high fat content, in large pieces or
those products typically more difficult to chill. Careful chilling control ensures that the end
temperature of 40°F is reached at the core of the product, with no danger of freezing and
damaging the product, not even on its surface.
SHOCK FREEZE CYCLE
(160°F TO 0°F)
This cycle is recommended when you want to store food for several weeks or months at
temperatures below 0°F. Freezers are suited for storing ready frozen foods, but not for freezing
them. During shock freezing, the liquids contained in the food are transformed into micro-crystals
that do not harm the tissue structure. When the food is thawed, its quality will be excellent. It is
especially suited for all semi-processed foods and raw products.

PANNING AND LOADING
PANNING
1. Standard pan depth is 2-1/2”. Other depths can be used but are not recommended as their
use would require an increase in the cycle time.
2. Stainless steel or aluminum pans are recommended, as plastic containers will increase the
chilling time.
3. Crockery or stainless steel cylinders, 6” dia. and 10” max. height, are acceptable.
4. Slack filled Cryovac bags can be used if placed on wire shelves.
5. Most foods should be covered with stainless steel or aluminum lids, or with aluminum foil.
6. Foods should be left UNCOVERED in the following circumstances:
a. When a dry surface is desired, such as with fried chicken, fish or potatoes.
b. When the food has a relatively large surface, such as with chicken breasts, Salisbury
steaks, etc.
c. For large roasts of beef, turkey, etc.
d. For pastry and other bakery products.
7. Some foods, such as roast beef, will continue to cook after removal from the oven. To avoid
this, they should be chilled uncovered.
8. Food probes should be at the center of the food in the pan.
9. Always wipe the probe with an alcohol swab after removing it from the food then place the
probe in the holding device.
LOADING
1. Place the pans on the mobile cart so that the pan ends will face the fans and the cold air will
be drawn over the length of the pans.
2. The shelves should be loaded so that there is no less than 1 inch between the bottom of one
pan and the top of the next. Also be certain that there is sufficient space between the top of
any probe and the bottom of the pan above.
3. Place the loaded cart in the center of the chilling cabinet between the refrigeration coil and the
fans.

LOADING A ROLL OF PAPER
1. Remove the paper cover by pressing on the groove patterns to pop the front edge up. Lift off
the cover.
2. Press the rocker switch to the left. The light will go off.
3. Unroll several inches of paper.
4. Cut a straight edge on the paper roll if it is jagged. This will facilitate the entry of the paper into
the printer.
5. Slide the paper (with the roll above the paper) through the slot connecting the paper
compartment and the printer compartment. It can be slid in about 1/4” before it stops.
6. While holding the paper in place, press the rocker switch to the Paper Feed position and hold
it there. The printer will activate and a rubber roller will pull the paper into the printer
compartment. Release the switch when an inch of paper has emerged from the top of the
printer.
7. Slide the paper through the slot in the printer cover.
8. Push the back of the printer cover down and into place.
9. Press the front of the printer cover down to lock in place.
10. Put the paper spindle into the paper roll and place the roll with the spindle onto the snaps
near the back of the printer. Turn the paper roll to take up any slack. Make sure the roll of
paper turns freely. If it does not turn freely, the paper will jam and can possibly damage the
print mechanism.
REMOVING A ROLL OF PAPER
1. Using the Paper Feed Switch, advance the paper about one inch beyond the paper cutter.
2. Lift the paper roll away from the printer housing and cut the paper feeding to the printer with
scissors. Try to make the cut as square as possible to help the next time you reload the
paper.
3. Pull the remaining paper through the printer mechanism. Be sure to pull the paper from the
top (paper cutter side).
WARNING: Pulling the paper out from the back of the printer will damage the
print mechanism.
OPERATING THE PRINTER
The Paper Feed switch on the printer is a rocker type switch. Push the left side of the rocker switch
to toggle the printer ON or OFF. A red light will go on when the printer switch is ON. Push the
right side of the switch to advance the paper.
MAINTENANCE
When printing becomes difficult to see, replace the ribbon in your printer with an Epson HX-20
cartridge ribbon.
If your printer is used infrequently, the print impression may become weak because the ribbon
dried out. In that case, advance the ribbon to a new section by holding down the Paper Feed
switch for several seconds.
REPLACING THE RIBBON (NO PAPER IN THE PRINTER)
1. Turn the printer OFF.
33
AP24BC250-3, AP24BCF300-3, AP40BC350-3, AP40BCF450-3 Manual
2. Four small grooves are embossed on each side of the printer cover. Push down on one or
both of these areas until the printer cover tilts up, then lift the cover completely off.
3. Push down on the right side of the ribbon cartridge where it is marked “PUSH”. Remove the
cartridge.
4. Install the new cartridge. Be sure the cartridge is inserted firmly to prevent weak or irregular
printing. The cartridge must be properly seated and aligned for best printing
5. Turn the cartridge “knob” (marked by an arrow) clockwise to take up slack.
6. Replace the cover.
7. Replace the paper.
REPLACING THE RIBBON (WITH PAPER IN THE PRINTER)
1. It is possible to insert the ribbon cartridge if there is already paper in the printer.
2. Hold the cartridge at each end with thumb and forefinger and slide it over the paper and into
the printer compartment.
Be sure the paper goes between the ribbon cartridge and the ink ribbon. If you get ribbon ink on
the printer case, wipe it off immediately as once it dries it is difficult to remove.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
CLEANING THE CONDENSER
34
AP24BC250-3, AP24BCF300-3, AP40BC350-3, AP40BCF450-3 Manual
For correct and efficient operation of the blast chiller, it is necessary that the condenser be kept
clean so that air can circulate around it freely and come into contact with the whole of its surface.
This operation (to be
performed every 30 days,
max.) can be accomplished
using a brush (non-metallic)
to remove all the dust and
dirt from the condenser fins.
Remove the finned grid to
gain access to the
condenser.
Fig. 1
CLEANING
COMPARTMENT
THE STORAGE
Clean the inside of the storage compartment daily to avoid altering the taste
and aroma of the food.
Clean the inside, the grid supports and
the grids with a non-corrosive detergent
and then rinse thoroughly.
The storage compartment and its internal
components have been designed to aid
all cleaning operations.
Clean the outside surfaces regularly with
a detergent for stainless steel and dry
using a soft cloth.
Always defrost the unit (see manual).
DO NOT USE ABRASIVES, SOLVENTS
OR GLASS WOOL (Fig. 3).
Fig.2
Avoid using sharp implements and
abrasives, especially when cleaning the
evaporator (Fig. 2).
NOTE: If additional refrigerant should be needed, be certain to use the
correct type and amount as shown on the nameplate.
